Vouchers aren’t the only way that Christian Nationalist politicians are trying to change publicly funded education.

Lying about dedicated #txed teachers that serve our “least of these” so faithfully and sacrificially—

And about #txlege House members who support them—

Is a sin against Almighty God!

Greg Abbott Betsy DeVos and their liars must repent!

STOP NOW!

This is exactly what Tim Dunn is trying to do -- to distance himself from the Christian Nationalism label -- it's a direct attempt to gaslight the public.

I’ve been warning you these voucher schemes spur pop-up schools and that’s part of why the results are so bad.

But even I hadn’t expected some of the Right-wing lawmakers who backed them to cash in themselves.

Tracks, I guess.

Encouraging signs began to appear on the doors to campuses in Klein ISD today - “A little BIG THING!” ❤️

TL;DR: what the voucher lobby means when they talk about their grassroots “movement”

The cynical attempt to privatize American public education is an active effort to destroy America’s most egalitarian institution and its biggest vehicle for successful individual & generational upward mobility.

Years ago, working on a voucher evaluation led by pro-voucher scholars, a couple other then-junior analysts and I found a troubling pattern.

At-risk kids left vouchers at very high rates.

But they did better switching to public school.

We published that separately in 2013👇

This graphic from NPEF does a good job compiling the independent evidence on vouchers in one graphic.

And these sorry outcomes are probably the most generous evidence-based take—attainment results have been flat more recently, including where test scores cratered.

Sounds like Texas Legislature wants to be the new Arizona?

To put the point differently: application data from high-choice cities like NOLA and DC show parents value academics more than they tell surveys.

They’re willing to accept a small academic decline to get other school features.

But not the huge drop they get with vouchers.

I have passed the largest election reform bill in recent history to ensure the integrity of Texas' elections. Last year, I passed a law restoring felony penalties for voter fraud. I will always fight to keep our elections secure. #VoteForVanDeaver #txlege

Legislators who admittedly make school districts beg for money instead of providing what’s available.

That’s today’s #txlege
